About The Springs Resort & Spa at Arenal

Mornings at The Springs Resort & Spa at Arenal start on your own balcony. Most room types have a furnished balcony with hammocks, rocking chairs and table seating, and several look out toward the volcano or the valley below. Back inside, the Vista Grande Guest Room, Alta Vista Guestroom, Honeymoon Vista Guestroom and Vista Guestrooms have a marbled bath with hot tub, so a long soak is part of the room itself.

When you want to spread out, the resort has plenty of water to choose from. There is an outdoor swimming pool with a view, a pool bar close by for a drink, and a water slide. A hot spring bath and a hot tub/jacuzzi complete the picture. The spa and wellness center offers massage services and beauty services, with a sauna, steam room and hammam for winding down. A fitness center and fitness facilities keep workout routines easy.

This is a resort for people who like to be active as well as pampered. Hiking, cycling, horse riding, canoeing and fishing are all available, and water sport facilities are on site. The tour desk and walking tours help you plan days out, and car hire, public transport tickets and shuttle service (additional charge) cover the logistics. Evenings can be slower: a games room with billiards, table tennis and darts, board games and puzzles, live music or performances, and live sport broadcasts.

Families are well looked after. Family rooms, an indoor play area, babysitting and child services, kid meals and a kid-friendly buffet are all part of the setup. Groups and celebrations can choose from larger suites, and the property has meeting and banquet facilities and a business center. Free WiFi, free parking, a 24-hour front desk, concierge service and 24-hour security round out a stay in the Fortuna area of Costa Rica.
